What do people use for biking in wind chill of 0°F or lower? I see a lot of posts and reviews regarding Winter gloves for 40°F. That's Fall weather not Winter. I ride to work no matter what the weather is so I'm not gearing up for comfortable riding weather, I'm out there when it's -30°F wind chill.

I have some Pearl Izumi softshell gloves that are somewhat wind and rain resistant, but my fingers start to go numb with wind chill below 10°F. I tried some inserts but it actually made my hands colder since it just trapped the sweat and did nothing to retain heat, so it kept freezing sweat on my fingers.

Have you tried silk liners?

If you are out there at -30F, I recommend big mittens (buckets or mitts) or pogies. I've never seen bike mitts for these temps.

I have a custom pair of mitts for when it gets really cold, but they are similar to these:

I have these, in black. I wore them all through the polar vortex last year, in PA. I was warm. I found that the mitten top with the glove fingers worked better than plain gloves or mittens.

PI lobsters. They're actually too warm at freezing, I can't wear them above 25F.

I haven't tried yet but I have already got some cheap pogies as well as windproof fleece gloves. The gloves were way too warm at 40F.

Get some poagies. They are a hundred times better than the warmest gloves you can find. They only work on flat bars, which won't be a problem for you. I use moose mitts, but there are plenty of good options.

I wear Rukku Vauhti lobster claw gloves, designed for motocross in northern climes like Finland. I have enough dexterity in them to work the shifters.

Actually that's what I have. Pearl Izumi lobsters.

Thanks I'll definitely get the poagies. I had no idea they made something like that.

I have the PI Lobsters too. They are good down to about 20-25 F for me. Below that it's Moose Mitts.

Bar Mitts makes pogies for drop bars to fit over brifters. You won't be able to use the drops but your hands won't get cold.
You can wear thin gloves underneath that have the dexterity to work shifters.

I talked to the guys at Trail's Edge a few years ago when they first made the drop bar moose mitts, and they recommended that I stick with the flat bar model if I ride in really cold temps. Curious if anyone has personal experience with both.

Bought some Heritage Extreme Winter gloves. Nice, good grippy rubbery handle. Crazy warm, almost too warm. Rode today 1hr at 25f and didn't feel a thing, but when I put them on a couple hours later they were wet. EWWW!

Pogies fit on the bike.. then you use a reasonable weight glove inside them .

other than that , yes Mittens , fingers warm each other in mutual solidarity.

I had Moose Mitts for flatcars many years ago, and they were the best! I sold them with a bike because it seemed like the era of the cold, cold winter was done around here, but since the cold cold winter returned last year, I kinda regret it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, "What up Michigan!!! In da house, baby!!

Hmm, yes I see, but they're much more streamlined than the enormous Moose Mitts for drops...

I have some pogies and my mitts are still warmer than my pogies (and not as bulky).
Those mitts are good beyond -36C/-33F whatever the windchill. Not available like this on the market though.

Those look pretty warm, but I have found that it's harder to brake and shift with mittens. Barrettscv mentioned these on another thread, which also look pretty good.Pair of New Swiss Military Surplus Waterproof Shooters' Mitts - 584533, Gloves & Mittens at Sportsman's Guide. I'll stick with the poagies when it gets really cold.

For sure. To each his own. I have something like this and have no problem braking and shifting.
My 2 problems with pogies is that there are bulky and i have to remove them every time i stop somewhere to prevent theft. Anyway, you seem happy with your pogies

I was out for 2 hours this morning in the high teens (F) with the PI lobsters, and my hands were a little too cold for comfort. 20-30F seems to be the comfort range for me with the PI Lobsters, but they are excellent in that range.

I don't really leave my bike outside where theft would be a problem, but I don't use poagies on my train station commuter (schwinn cruiser) for exactly that reason.

These are not the lobsters and therefore afford better dexterity. I've found them to be super warm - it must be at least down to the mid-thirties F to wear them. I would say they are warm down to a range of 0 - 10F. They also come in XX-Large for big hands.

I have this and it is ok for 35+ temps. Used it today at average temp of 37 for an hour ride and I get that numb fingers along the way. So I'm researching a better alternative for this gloves and might get a bar mitts as well.

I use glove liners in loose fitting winter gloves. good air pocket and easy on easy off with the loose winter gloves. also there's room to alternate fisting one hand at a time and blowing warm breath into them to rewarm occasionally. when it's under zero F I used hand warmers stuffed on the front side. yesterday was my first experience with 2 layered gloves and brifters. I pleased that I could still shift easily
